Several other raids and drones have been used in an attempt to clampdown on drug dealing in the Christiania area of the Danish capital. Freetown Christiania used to be a military base until the 1970s, when a group of hippies squatted in the place and created the autonomous neighbourhood.

Today, approximately 900 people live in the area, creating a community that has its own rules and where decisions are made through meetings. The cannabis trade that was taking place over the past years in the ‘Green Light District’ became the main reason for the tribulations, with police officers invading the place and arresting dealers on the regular.

The use of drugs is illegal in Denmark, even behind the closed doors of the hippie neighbourhood. Still, although cannabis stalls with space cookies and rolled-up joints no longer exist, Christiania’s guests are able to buy weed.

According to the Culture Trip, Christianites ask people to buy their drugs elsewhere. After Pusher Street was closed, the city was covered in posters, created by the inhabitants, with the words reading, ‘Help Christiania — buy your hash elsewhere’.
